Charity of the Month:

Meet Marina (#FC-2) at the October Luncheon

Marina (#FC-2) is a Facility Canine with the Prescott Police Department who provides comfort, support, and a calming presence to children, students, staff, and community members every day.

Marina is specially trained to recognize signs of stress, anxiety, and other emotional needs. Through her presence and interactions, she helps individuals feel safe, supported, and understood during difficult situations and times of need.

To maintain and enhance her skills, Marina and her handler participate in daily obedience training and regularly travel to the Valley to work with Kristi Smith, owner and head trainer of Dog Trainer U.S. This ongoing training ensures Marina remains prepared to serve those who benefit from her support.

Marina is primarily based at Granite Mountain Upper Elementary School, where she works closely with students and staff throughout the school day, providing emotional support and encouragement.

Caring for Marina is also a daily commitment. She enjoys regular brushing and follows a specialized raw-food diet supplemented with freeze-dried treats to support her health and well-being.

Marina's program is funded entirely through generous community support, including private donors and organizations such as RWOP and Pawz N Clawz, through the Prescott Police Foundation. The continued support of these individuals and organizations helps provide the food, training, veterinary care, and other resources necessary for Marina to continue serving students and the Prescott community.

Marina will be attending the October luncheon as a qualified service dog. Stop by and meet this remarkable canine who makes a positive difference in the lives of so many each day.
